Let me preface this times 1,000,000...I LOVE LIFE! I LOVE OUR BUSINESS! THERE IS NOTHING ELSE I WANT TO DO RIGHT NOW (besides travel and somehow make money doing it, but still)...Hopefully I sound like I'm searching for balance (which I am) and seeking similar people to gain advice from (which I am) rather than [...]

I know this is going to be SHOCKING news, but as a company that hand-printed over 10,000 items in 2014 alone, we made a few (read: a lot) of mistakes. Smudged ink? Yep. Miscolored prints? Oh yeah.

Far and away, one of the top 3 questions we get is "How do your sizes run?" or something along those lines. (Questions 1 and 2 are, naturally, 1) how are you so awesome and 2) why isn't Mitch more famous?) For quite a while we would point people to this listing or that web [...]
